Most of those threads are in rabble reactions if anyone wants a more techy answer.

I've explained my own feelings on this a number of times and don't feel like repeating at the moment all the reasons as both a moderator and a consumer why I don't like it. Enmasse and B'nR have different moderating issues, and have evolved their own unique cultures which work for them.

Can't get by a snide dig here or there, eh? Nice (not to mention pointless) drive by.

For example, Jrootham, alone accounts for 12 or 13 posts on this 108 post thread here: Khadr's khangaroo khourt trial, khontinued , making for about 10% of the total. When Jrootham says "there are about 10 posts from the rest of us", one might be confused into thinking that when he says "the rest of us" he means only himself.

Could it be that the East German judge's mark for East German athlete is suspect?

This begins with Rootham's snide drive by remark, where he poses himself as being above the fracas, and with "the rest of us" who post "infrequently". But of course you will ignore that in favour of prosecuting your own personal vendetta, and accuse me of ramping up the hostility for merely pointing out the essential hypocrisy of Rootham's statement.

Sorry, do you have a problem with me pointing out that contrary to his assertion JRootham is not one "the rest of us" who post occassionally, but in fact one who often gets taken up by a theme and then posts prolifically in an exchange with an individual?

I find many comfort foods are fattening and bad for my health. But they soothe the soul- that's why I like them.

On the other hand, no one has any basis whatsoever for being able to determine what political party that I BELONG too, based on the fact that I disagree with this that or the other position. I have disgareed with the articulated position of the NDP, based generally on the fact that they are to close to the Liberal position or the Conservative position. Such is a matter of the record.

However, to take this position, and then convert that into an arguement that I must be a member of one of those other parties, simply by the fact that I articulate positions that do not correspond to those of the NDP are of course farcical, and entirely slanderous.

But you seem to think its perfectly fine for you to take offence at percieved slander against you, and then dismiss my right to do the same.

Convenient.

Do you mind if I get to decide what slander I take offence too?

Certainly. I am impressed that you only lost your cool after one person questioned your support of human rights.
